) theorized that efficacy beliefs can be assessed at different levels of specificity; however, empirical support for this view is scarce among young children. Efficacy beliefs targeting reading-related activities were assessed at three specificity levels (general, intermediate, and specific). Confirmatory factor analysis revealed that these specificity levels are separable, but correlated, and the structure was invariant across gender and grade level. Self-efficacy factors were positively associated with reading fluency, but the strength of these associations varied according to specificity level. Findings suggest that reading self-efficacy in primary grades can and should be assessed at different specificity levels according to research aims.

Can reading fluency and self-efficacy of reading fluency be enhanced with an intervention targeting the sources of self-efficacy?
Aro, Tuija; Viholainen, Helena; Koponen, Tuire; Peura, Pilvi; Räikkönen, Eija; Salmi, P.; Sorvo, Riikka; Aro, Mikko (Elsevier, 2018)The first aim of the study was to analyze whether reading fluency and self-efficacy of reading fluency (SE-rf) are malleable for children (Grades 3–5) with deficits in fluent reading via a 12-week special education program ... -
Self-regulatory efficacy and sources of efficacy in elementary school pupils : Self-regulatory experiences in a population sample and pupils with attention and executive function difficulties
Paananen, Mika; Aro, Tuija; Viholainen, Helena; Koponen, Tuire; Tolvanen, Asko; Westerholm, Jari; Aro, Mikko (Elsevier Ltd, 2019)In this study, we examined self-regulatory efficacy and sources of self-efficacy (mastery experiences, vicarious experiences, social persuasion and physiological/emotional states) and the relationships between self-efficacy ... -
Is There Hope for First Graders at the Lowest Percentiles? : The Roles of Self-Efficacy, Task Avoidance, and Support in the Development of Reading Fluency
Ronimus, Miia M. S.; Tolvanen, Asko J.; Ketonen, Ritva H. (SAGE Publications, 2023)Self-efficacious children are expected to be more task-focused in challenging achievement situations and consequently have better chances of overcoming learning difficulties than children who have lower self-efficacy. The ... -
Individual variations in sources of self-regulatory efficacy among elementary school pupils
Paananen, Mika; Aro, Tuija; Koponen, Tuire; Viholainen, Helena; Tolvanen, Asko; Peura, Pilvi; Aro, Mikko (Routledge, 2023)Self-regulatory efficacy (SRE) among elementary school children is of interest because pupils’ self-regulation capacities and SRE influence in managing learning situations. This study investigated variations in the four ... -
Children’s Academic Self-efficacy in Reading and Reading Development : From Theory to Practice
Peura, Pilvi; Aro, Tuija; Räikkönen, Eija; Viholainen, Helena; Aro, Mikko (Springer, 2022)Self-efficacy has been found to be an important predictor of various learning-related outcomes. In this chapter, we focus on the role of academic self-efficacy in the context of reading among school-aged children. We first ...
